So this project takes some explaining…
The big boss has a thing about using your “gray crayon” in situations you can - not being so black and white, being flexible about some things (obviously within reason).
So for his birthday I made him a giant gray crayon.
I didn’t get a lot of pictures of creating it, but I can explain what I did…
The main barrel is a round shipping tube, painted using some stencils and just acrylic paint.
The top… it’s a styrofoam cone covered in craft felt. I sewed the felt on, because I know that styrofoam is tough to glue (it melts!). And I mixed my paint to be close to the felt color. It’s hilarious and it’s up in our temporary office space (ask me how fun working in a call center type building is… only two more months and the office remodel will be done!)
